In Itanagar kidnapped man rescued, three arrested
Guwahati: Two businessmen from Dimapur, who were suspected to have been abducted for a monetary deal, have been rescued from a house in Guwahati, a police officer said on Tuesday.
He said that the main accused in the case is absconding, though his wife has been arrested.
The two persons, who hail from Bihar but run shops in Nagaland’s Dimapur town, were allegedly abducted by the main accused near Guwahati railway station on Friday morning, the official said.
“They were kept in a house in Guwahati’s Notboma area, from where we rescued them on Monday. We got information about their presence,” he said.
However, the main accused managed to escape before our team arrived. His wife was at home and has been arrested.”
The kidnappers had sent videos to the families of the victims demanding a ransom of Rs 10 lakh, the official said.
“We are investigating the motives behind the incident and also looking for the main accused,” he said, ruling out possible old financial transactions between the two parties behind the alleged kidnapping.
